101  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crypto gambling websites need to add self-control functionality! on: February 02, 2020, 03:10:46 AM
There might be some regulatory issues concerning the removal of the account that is why most of the gambling websites or platform isn't allowing that to easily be removed by casual members. In my opinion, if the gambling platform is decentralized, that is the time that they should allow freedom of the users to control their account, but if we are taking part of the gambling platform that is centralized, we need to conform to their rules and procedures and we shouldn't complain about that.
102  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is it wrong to monetize a bitcoin/cryptocurrency seminar/meeting? on: January 31, 2020, 12:49:28 PM
When conducting an activity like this, it is always a thought in our mind to somehow get something from the hard work that we exert as a compensation though, the essence of voluntarism in conducting this seminar will not be perfect. But if we will not seek profit from the person whom we teach about cryptocurrency, I think it is okay for us to gain, why not film every seminar we made and upload it to youtube or other video streaming platforms where we could have views that will turn into profit, at the same time, we'll not just teach a group, but the whole world about the thoughts that we have in our mind.
103  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Exchanges are now potentially banning btc sent to a mixing/conjoin services on: January 31, 2020, 12:29:52 PM
Apparently, we know that bitcoin is hard to control or manipulate especially with a third party that will put up some restrictions to what people could freely do with their funds and wallets. But it is evident that they are now making their step to somehow regulate the transaction of bitcoin, because mixing it will provide the best option for the user to stay anonymous, maybe this is their initial step to tax trading profits of most of the users, basically to avoid them being free which turns out to be alarming as it removes the freedom we should have in the first place. So, in my opinion, decentralized bitcoin exchanges will be our future hopes.
104  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How Many Bitcoin Forks Are There? You will be surprised!!! on: January 31, 2020, 11:15:19 AM
Personally am surprised!

Thought at most we could have roughly about 10 types of bitcoin, which is the original Bitcoin(BTC) and ~ 9 bitcoin altcoins. I guess this explains why bitcoin has failed to break a new all time high because even when bitcoin demand is there people are duped into buying the wrong cryptocurrency and price increment is at snail speed.

I too, perhaps, has been surprised, knowing that the forks of bitcoin are just the bitcoin cash, SV and bitcoin gold, well, by seeing all these line up in the market, we could probably conclude that it is really the battle of the fittest that will remain on top of the others, we could see bitcoin cash and sv getting the most support and demand as the top rank in bitcoin forks, this means that people do really believe that forks serve as an upgrade to bitcoin protocol that needs to be considered if we want to make our transaction faster than the actual bitcoin. But what's good about it, is when we, could possibly have the chance to improve bitcoin itself without these forks so we could have more demand to help us deliver the best crypto to people.
105  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: "Priceless" Bitcoin commerical on: January 31, 2020, 11:08:36 AM
It is like a religion thing, most of the people will said they will not change their religion because it is the religion where they are born into. My point here is that you can't force them to like the things you like, we have different beliefs when it comes to things, if he believes that gold will give him a lot of wealth than bitcoin, then let him be, though it is crystal clear that bitcoin gives more profit than gold.

People like him have eyes but he choose not to see things, even if you have basis and proofs that bitcoin is better, he will still choose gold because of his pride of gold.

Comparing Gold to BTC is just a wast when it comes to letting people become free to choose what decision they should make. Maybe we have different perspective on how we should treat both of this investment platform, some may see that gold is more valuable that is because they are more exposed in it, rather than bitcoin that is in fact, for us is achieving greater heights, because for us, the reason why bitcoin will increase too much than what it is now is the scarcity and the increasing adoption or demand we have over time.
106  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: WHEN YOU ARE CONFUSED REFER TO BITCOIN on: January 29, 2020, 02:56:29 AM
One thing I have come to observe in this crypto space is that: people always think the price of bitcoin is too expensive and they try to go for low cap coins that are still developing and will be hoping to cash out big in the long term and increase their bitcoin purchasing power, unfortunately, most times these altcoins that were predicted to grow do mess up investors plan, and instead of them to buy bitcoin this time after the first disaster, they chase another promising altcoin and end up been disappointed, by the time they are set to buy bitcoin their money would have been burnt by shitty new coins. That is a rat race.
One thing I've just noticed and observed is that, most of the newbies tends to be excited and without a strong foundation to the decision that they are making. You're example OP is the perfect example since I as well fall to buy short term promising altcoins before where in fact, I've already invested in bitcoin in the first place.

So which coin do you first advise your student to buy as the learning progresses?

Honestly, I couldn't advise that it should be bitcoin, though, they will really learn about investment if they lose allot in investing in crypto for the first time. What I could suggest is that, they should first try altcoins such as Ethereum and XRP, because Bitcoin for me is the real deal, the application of your knowledge from investing in Altcoins will be your way to earn profits in bitcoin.
107  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: By now, is it worth to invest in major altcoins for the long term? on: January 28, 2020, 07:20:43 AM
When you are saying major altcoins, are you pertaining to the altcoins that are being on top ranking on the CMC? Because for me, it is not just major altcoins that could lose value or market price in a long term, it falls simply on the demand of the people to such altcoins we have. At this time, we could notice a major association of bitcoin and altcoin, the theory is when bitcoin increases, these major altcoins increases also, and it is probably have no concrete proof, so for us to understand if it is worth investing in major altcoins, we should see for ourselves that these altcoins have the potential to attract people's demand, after all, it will rely on the number of people having or holding this particular altcoin.
108  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Held a bitcoin seminar today on: January 28, 2020, 06:55:52 AM
It's nice to see someone doing educational work as a volunteer. Usually, these people do not aim to conduct paid training seminars or, even worse, try to persuade people to buy their cryptocurrency. It's great that young people are interested in modern high technologies.

In inducing market adoption, we have endless option for us to execute our own way of advertising bitcoin and cryptocurrency to other people. we mostly conduct discussion with our peers but the difference which I admire the most to what OP does is to conduct discussion or seminar to people who haven't really have idea of cryptocurrency. In our way, we just talk about improvements, updates and asking questions to things we doesn't know, but what you are doing OP is promoting it for us to have better future and increase the market capitalization we have. It might look like a small step but if your friends become crypto enthusiasts as well, they'll do the same thing and will promote bitcoin to others. Thus, we'll have a continues growing community of cryptocurrency users.
109  Economy / Speculation / Re: It's over $9000! on: January 28, 2020, 06:39:09 AM
I remember one of the topic I've read here, concerning that most of the cryptocurrencies of todays have buying signals that could literally tell when the market is increasing or decreasing, as I can remember, it is on weekends that mostly users are selling their crypytocurrencies, and in monday, a good buying day to consider. This just means for me that whenver we see bitcoin ranging 9000 dollars for today, it will definitely a good start for a week, but will basically fall down again in the week ends. This is just my theory, but I doesn't really believe it could stay 9k dollars for months.
110  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 2020 the year of Bitcoin technology getting accepted by governments on: January 28, 2020, 03:10:15 AM
Government of every country varies, they have rules and regulations that they implement that adheres to their constitution. In terms of mass adoption of blockchain and cyryptocurrwncy, not all government will be readily available to embrace it. Some have their strict economic and financial sectors that mainly restrict the usage of bitcoin and cryptocurrency. One example is the China. We mostly incorporate blockchain to bitcoin though, this will not mean blockchain isn't allowed om China as well. In fact, China is being one of the most blockchhain developing country of today. And with their influence, they could possibly attract other country to develop blockchain technology.

111  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin bank, Necessary? on: January 28, 2020, 02:04:47 AM
Community is composed of many sectors that coordinate as one for the country to develop. Banks financtial institution is one of the sectors that perform one of the vital roles which circulates currency for daily living. Incorporating bitcoin banks is one of the ideas they have which is for me, a way to continue their job but not completely a creation of banks intended for bitcoin. Here's why: for me, having banks intended for bitcoin is a waste of money, establishments doesn't need to be created because bitcoin is running over the metwork. In such a case that what we need is jist internet connection, a hardware wallet or other secured wallet to safely store our funds.

One of the things banks could consider to to is to just incorporate bitcoin to existing branches they have, and have a very secured node or  computer to store cryptocurrency and to process crypto for people. Though, the main function I can just see is when people tends to buy bitcoin, they could easily transfer their funds from that particular bank and accumulate bitcoin directly. In addition, banks might as well consider having huge bitcoin pool, incase people's deman increases.

As you can notice, I am just incorporating banks because I believe banks is one of the necessary sectors of our community, in fact, bitcoin alone with its nodes could survive, and provide better service at all.

On last idea I have about this is that,

Banks could possibly run bitcoin ATM, where people could cash out and cash in their funds, to make accumulation of bitcoins allot easier. But remember, with all these things, we could lose one thing, and that is our anonymity.
112  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The World’s Most Crypto-friendly Countries on: January 27, 2020, 03:09:58 AM
Maybe add Philippines because here in my country many people start to gaining knowledge about cryptocurrency especially in bitcoin,  and also many crypto currency exchange are developing here in my country. 

And aside from that we have Bitcoin Atm,  and also some stores here already accepting bitcoin as a alternative payment.

Residing in the Philippines does really great for a cryptocurrency enthusiasts, but I can say, bitcoin and cryptocurrency is allowed and is tolerable by government but the fact that its image formed isn't really well since right before, people think about it as investment rather than a daily transaction medium such as a currency. Many falls to scam and pyramids, that is why if we ask an older person what is their thought about bitcoin, they mostly don't like it knowing that computer literacy rate of old people in the Philippines isn't promising plus, the impact of their first impression when they hear what bitcoin is.

I can say, if we try to convince or attract people with bitcoin, we should mainly consider talking to milennials.
113  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why will you invest in something you know nothing about? on: January 27, 2020, 02:21:23 AM
I always research my own investments before making them, and I certainly do not invest in an investment instrument that I do not know or doubt about its future.  I think that other people who make investments usually make uninformed investments and therefore lose money.  I usually say that people like these have dreams of making a lot of money with low budget in a very short time.

What I've just observed, mostly scammers are usually using decentralized application to make contacts and to have victims. In some other time, they post in forums or groups to attract people's attention to contact them. Some do offers competition and advertisement salaries, but what makes them similar to one another is the anonymity of the person trying to propose an investment to you. So, this topic perfectly fits the condition of not trusting someone or invest to someone you didn't really know.
114  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will Digital currency of Banks can replace the Bitcoin? What is your opinion? on: January 27, 2020, 01:43:13 AM
In the first place, what I've experienced is that, digital currencies made by banks came even before the invention of bitcoin. There is already automatic payments but just take enormous amount of time to confirm. But with today, whenever banks transitioned their currency to digital, I really do think that cryptocurrency enthusiasts are thinking of the ways to easily made these digital currency linked to crypto, meaning to say that, we could easily buy bitcoin using digital payments which is still pro cryptocurrency at all.
115  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin Cash A Better Crypto To Invest? on: January 27, 2020, 01:32:12 AM
On the market, altcoins and bitcoin have limitless potential because it depends upon the developers to provide better service that is worth the wait of the people. But in terms of investing to Bitcoin cash, it is a big hype as of the moment that ROI for Bitcoin Cash will be profitable, but this doesn't necessarily mean it cannot happen, because we don't know, hypes are one of the factor that drives the market to increase demand for a particular cryptocurrency. So for people that will believe in Bitcoin Cash, it's quite okay, and if not, its better for them to stay in bitcoin, because almost all crypto involves taking risk.
116  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Altcoins Bounty Hunters are almost alone! on: January 27, 2020, 01:21:06 AM
Doing bounty campaigns has been profitable for years in time frame 2016-2017, in 2018, it is too hard to possibly join a bounty that is somehow decent. Most of the bounty hunters are just working for nothing and wasting their time for tokens that aren't valuable. But to consider, bounty hunters aren't alone in the first place. There are allot of group chats in telegram groups some are focused on revenge on scam bounties, and they basically build up network of bounty hunters to make sure a project will fall if it scams them. In addition, with our forum community, most are bounty hunters and we are all powerful when we unite as one.
117  Economy / Economics / Re: Say Goodbye to Banking as We Know It on: January 26, 2020, 02:44:24 AM

Banks are making money from no where so do you think banking is still better than decentralized crypto?
Banks aren't good! therefore cryptocurrency was created, but there are only a few that have good value, indeed decentralization is a good system for the future, but for now if the BANK ends, the world will be shaken

Basically we are really bound to accept the fact that we don't need banks, we haven't realized that the world will not be functional as like today, if there is no regulation to the use of money we have. It might be hard to accept but the fact that regulation is needed, is what will make our economy better. They circulate money for investment, loans, government projects and for us to have infrastructures that we mainly benefited from. Without banks, everyone will be selfish and will focus on their own, making government incapable to function very well.
118  Economy / Economics / Re: Why Cryptocurrency threatens governments on: January 26, 2020, 02:17:16 AM
The only and most compelling reason is the weakening of control over citizens.
The weakening of the country's financial institutions, weakens control, which in turn weakens power within the country.
In addition, while there is no established legal framework for cryptocurrencies, there is no payment of taxes on cryptocurrencies.


If and only if government will pursue strengthening the support of them to their people by imparting knowledge about financial literacy first, because in the first place, how could we teach people to use cryptocurrency if they are having problem and trouble taking good care of the proper spending and financial management in their fiat currency. So conducting seminars and shaping people's mind to adopt to cryptocurrency is the best possible way to make it happen, because crypto isn't made to threaten the government, it is made for the people to be responsible.
119  Economy / Economics / Re: Goverments creating digital currencies - Threat or Opportunity? on: January 26, 2020, 01:43:20 AM
With the emerging number or numerous counts of cryptocurrency being used as of today, I wonder why these countries are still pursuing to create their own cryptocurrency. I see before that they are inclined to use EOS blockchain and crypto, and figuring out that creating a cryptocurrency that is centralized is what their country needs. We know China is growing economically, and it needs to further regulate their monetary system and making it crypto would be the best idea to have the maximum security and efficiency of transactions that will be made.
120  Economy / Economics / Re: Is Bitcoin Over? on: January 26, 2020, 01:32:35 AM
In my opinion bitcoin is not over yet, and will last a long time. Remembering the demand for bitcoin is increasing every year. Although the
value of bitcoin has not yet been developed, because bitcoin has not functioned too effectively as a payment. But bitcoin can make someone's
life changes for the better, even some countries are proven to experience changes for the better financially. Because there is the role of bitcoin.
Indeed, bitcoin cannot help a person or a country directly, but if it can earn money from bitcoin then a person or country can change for the better.

Bitcoin is a system mainly created to be a currency, but it doesn't have any intrinsic value, and it has a difficulty in terms of transaction rate and speed, but I could say, even if we encounter these difficulty, we are seeing bitcoin as gold, meaning to say that it might serve as a store of value and an investment at the same time. That is why altcoins was created, to supply the world with the lack of bitcoins. Thus, allowing us to interchangeably use bitcoin and altcoins at the same time.
